Lee Min Ho | Omniscent Reader: The Prophet New Poster Released July 10, 2025

“Omniscient Readers: The Prophet”, The chemistry of Lee Min Ho and Ahn Hyo-seop.

Featuring 'Kim Dokja' (Ahn Hyo-seop) and 'Yoo Joonghyuk' (Lee Min-ho) exchanging heated looks against a fading sunset sky, the newly released tandem poster leaves viewers holding their breath.

The novel Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World's protagonist, "Yoo Joonghyuk," whom he has long honored, is confronted in real life for the first time by 'Kim Dokja', the first reader of the book.

The unusual atmosphere they exude from their very first meeting heightens curiosity about the story they will write together.

'Kim Dokja's' expression reveals his firm resolve to join hands with 'Yoo Joonghyuk' to create a new ending where everyone survives together, rather than one where only the protagonist survives alone. On 'Yoo Joonghyuk's' face, there's a subtle tension-a mix of curiosity and suspicion towards 'Kim Dokja', who has suddenly appeared and is steering the story in a completely different direction from the plot he knew.

With 'Kim Dokja', who has finally met the novel's protagonist he admired for nearly 10 years, and 'Yoo Joonghyuk', who has grown cynical from repeated regressions, the anticipation of prospective audiences is soaring to a climax, eager to see what new story their fateful meeting will create.

Lee Min Ho | At the Press Conference Omniscent Reader: The Prophet Movie June 17, 2025

in "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint," Lee Min Ho stated, "My synchronization rate with the character is about 10%. I don't think I'll be able to meet the expectations of fans of the original work."

He said, "While I was thinking about how society is becoming more individualized and isolated, I came across the script. I felt that even in a world heading toward destruction, the idea of finding comfort in our humanity and overcoming adversity together is something that resonates with our times."

Lee Min Ho described his character by saying, "I play Yoo Joong-hyuk. He's a tragic figure. He holds countless experiences within himself, lives through repeated reincarnations, and endures a lonely existence."

He added, "It's ultimately a story about what it means to live. While Yoo Joong-hyuk silently carries out his missions, I think he was hoping readers would step into his world."

As for the charm of the character, he humorously mentioned, "It's the leather coat. It doesn't breathe and is so heavy that after filming, my shoulders would ache."

Lee Min Ho also reflected, "With the rise of the Al era, I think people are once again dreaming about an idealized life. But I feel like living an immortal life might be miserable. If I could live long, I'd like to experience many different kinds of lives."

Praising co-star Nana, he said, "I really liked her raw, unfiltered energy. I'm trying to bring that same quality into my performance. Nana has an incredible physical presence and energy that I admire."

He shared, "I've been in communication with the production company's CEO since the early stages of the project. I usually avoid characters who are overtly 'cool' for the sake of being cool. I prefer roles that begin from a place of lacking and grow from there. But Yoo Joong-hyuk was already captivating from the start, which made it feel burdensome. Even if the film does well, I'm not sure it can fully satisfy fans of the original. I'd say my sync with Yoo Joong-hyuk is about 10%."

Lee Min Ho | The Real Protagonist of a Novel

 

Character stills from the film Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, which stars Lee Min-ho as the novel's protagonist "Yoo Jung-hyuk," have been made public.

It's been serialized for more than a decade. The novel's world becomes real on the day it ends, and the only reader, "Kim Dok-ja," must survive in the destroyed world alongside the protagonist, "Yoo Jung-hyuk," and his coworkers in the fantasy action movie "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint." The novel has been serialized for more than ten years.

In "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint," actor Lee Min-ho, who has made waves throughout the world with his films like "Ask the Stars," "Pachinko 1, 2," "The King: Eternal Monarch," "Legend of the Blue Sea," and "The Heirs," introduces the audience to the indispensable character "Yoo Jung-hyuk." The main character of the book "Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World," Yoo Jung-hyuk, is so strong and skilled that he can use the regression talent to start over from the beginning even after he dies, clearing every scenario. He captures the audience's interest with his presence and images right away, and he repeats many regressions while making the most of the audience's absorption with nuanced emotional lines and dramatic movements. 

'Yoo Jung-hyuk' was filled with cynicism from everything he had gone through while breaking numerous situations, but he meets 'Kim Dok-ja' (Ahn Hyo-seop), who sets up a scenario that differs from what he was used to on Dongho Bridge and starts to watch him. 'Yoo Jung-hyuk', who is wary of trust, puts 'Dok-ja' to the test after he extends an invitation to join him. The audience is becoming more and more interested in the relationship between "Kim Dok-ja," the lone character in the book who has admired him for more than a decade, and "Yoo Jung-hyuk," as well as the type of conclusion they will come up with together.

"I gave a lot of thought to the loneliness of a human who lives an immortal life alone," stated Lee Min-ho. He is a character who fights all the time, therefore I work really hard to get ready for the action scenes,” he said, highlighting his love for his distinct persona. "I had to show this worldview through Yoo Joong-hyuk, and I thought that he had to be real so that the process of the readers entering this worldview and overcoming the crisis would be convincing," he added, indicating that he approached the character at the heart of the story with tact. 

In addition, he hinted at the work he put into his dense acting when he remarked, "I thought a lot about how to make the action movements, eye contact, and facial expressions not excessive, and how to make them not seem fake."

In July, "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint," which introduces you to the ferocious character "Yoo Joong-hyuk," who appears to have exploded off the screen, will be released in theaters around the country.

Knowing what transpired in the book, Kim Dok Ja embarks on a mission to prevent the end of the world. Yoo Joong Hyuk, the main character in the book that Kim Dok Ja read, is portrayed by Lee Min Ho.

The actors' flawless character makeovers are depicted in the recently published character posters. Kim Dok Ja, the only reader of an online novel that was serialized for more than a decade, enthralls with his concentrated look in the first poster. His poster's wording, "I'm the only reader who knows how this world ends," piques interest in his intended use of his knowledge.

In his poster, Yoo Joong Hyuk (Lee Min Ho), the protagonist of the book Kim Dok Ja reads, asks, "Why did the world turn out this way?".

When the novel comes to life, Yoo Sang Ah (Chae Soo Bin), who is with Kim Dok Ja, asks, "Do you have to battle like this everyday here?"

Shin Seung Ho portrays Lee Hyun Sung, a peer of Kim Dok Ja. He wrote, "Dok Ja, how do you know all this?" on his poster.revealing how he will develop into Dok Ja and his friends' dependable shield-like protection.

In her poster, Kim Dok Ja's ally who battles for justice, Jung Hee Won (Nana), also appears formidable. Her poster's content, "There is still one left—one who gave up on being human," raises questions about the person she might be referring to.

The mentee of Yoo Joong Hyuk is a high school girl named Lee Ji Hye (Jisoo from BLACKPINK). According to her, "Only the strong survive in this world."

As a young child who travels with Dok Ja and communicates with insects, Lee Gil Young (Kwon Eun Seong) declares his determination, "I also want to fight with the monsters."

Kim Dok Ja presents himself as the only ardent reader of "How to Survive in a Ruined World" in the teaser that was made public along with the posters, while his own world abruptly begins to fall apart. “This is the same as the start of that novel,” Kim Dok Ja muses as a shadowy goblin materializes on the subway.

The goblin starts assigning objectives in the form of "scenarios" as the world descends into anarchy; the first scenario is to eliminate at least one living thing. "We have to clear up to the 99th scenario," Kim Dok Ja explains, and chaos breaks out.

Kim Dok Ja pretends to convince Yoo Joong Hyuk to join him, saying, “My skill is to foresee the future.” Yoo Joong Hyuk is skeptical and throws him into the ocean, assigning Kim Dok Ja the task of surviving and meeting him at Chungmuro station. Screaming, "Yoo Joong Hyuk, you bastard," Kim Dok Ja collapses.

With Kim Dok Ja narrating, "The novel that only I knew and liked has become reality," the teaser concludes with a fierce struggle for survival.
